Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, add salt and ramen squares. Cook according to package instructions, about 4 minutes.

Once noodles are finished cooking, drain and rinse. Set aside.
Add all sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk with a fork. Add sauce and noodle to vegetable mixture and stir to combine for 30-60 seconds.
